Greetings!
We are excited to welcome you to the first event in our new gender knowledge exchange series! Our upcoming network exchange sessions aim to provide IGWG members with the opportunity to consult with a gender expert on a given topic or challenge in an informal and interactive small group setting, and to leverage the wisdom of the gender champions who join the sessions to exchange knowledge and experiences. Think of it as “office hours” for IGWG members and friends!
This month’s event will be led by Jihane Isseid, Hassan Joumaa, and Gary Zeitounalian of the ABAAD Resource Center for Gender Equality in Lebanon. They will discuss the challenges and lessons learned from ABAAD’s efforts to address GBV survivors’ health and well-being needs and prevent future violence during the pandemic, as well as take questions from members about the organization’s approach and programming.
Topics for discussion include:
- Remote GBV Case Management, Jihane Isseid, Technical Coordinator
- Adopting Psychosocial Support (PSS) Interventions to Remote Modalities, Hassan Joumaa, Masculinity Technical Focal Point
- Community Based Interventions During COVID-19, Gary Zeitounalian, Gender Program Technical Support
Space for this event is limited, so register early to confirm your spot. When you RSVP at the link below, please also tell us what you want to get out of this session with ABAAD.
We look forward to seeing you there!
